Song Ming's reaction was exactly what Chen Ming wanted to see. Chen Ming was secretly delighted to see the old leader being encouraged by his words. Even though Song Ming had retired to a second-tier position, his connections in the city were extraordinary. Xi Men was just a poverty-stricken county that ranked at the bottom of Sea City. The fact that Song Ming was able to become the vice-chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference after retiring to a second-tier position was a testament to his connections.
Zhao Fang, the Deputy Secretary of the Sea City Municipal Party Committee, was Song Ming's true backer. The two of them even had an unknown relationship. It was said that Song Ming's wife, Wang Sui, and Zhao Fang's wife, Wang Ping, were from the same village. They were even neighbors and lived next to each other. Wang Sui was a few years older than Wang Ping and had taken good care of her neighbor's younger sister since she was young. Therefore, she had a good relationship with Wang Ping. Wang Ping had always been very grateful to this big sister who had taken care of her when she was young. Unexpectedly, both of them were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and became the wives of officials.
Wang Ping, who was a few years younger than Wang Sui, had a better life than Wang Sui and seemed to have a good husband. After marrying Zhao Fang, Zhao Fang's career had been smooth sailing. Even though he had experienced some bumps along the way, those were only minor interludes. Compared to others, Zhao Fang could be considered a lucky man. At least he had made a name for himself and was able to become the Deputy Secretary of the Sea City Municipal Party Committee. Among Zhao Fang's high school classmates, Zhao Fang's achievements were the highest, which was enough to prove his worth.
Wang Ping and Wang Sui were good friends, so they became the link between Song Ming and Zhao Fang. Although Zhao Fang was a few years younger than Song Ming, he was much more successful in his career than Song Ming. He also held a higher position than Song Ming. Due to his wife, he helped Song Ming as much as he could within his capabilities.
Chen Ming used to play the role of Song Ming's confidant, so he had a thorough understanding of Song Ming. He knew that the Zhao and Song families had such a relationship. Song Ming and Zhao Fang were close because of their relationship as Song Ming's wife, and Song Ming was able to speak to Zhao Fang. This was something that Chen Ming valued greatly. This was also why Chen Ming continued to serve the old leader's family, rain or shine, even after Song Ming had retired. Not only would he visit the old leader's family every now and then, the things that Chen Ming had done for Song Ming's son and daughter in private could only be considered as Chen Ming's emotional investment in the Song family. If it were not for Song Ming's ability to 'reach the heavens', Chen Ming would not have continued to serve the Song family even after Song Ming had retired.
Taking a simple matter as an example, when Song Ming's son, Song Daming, bought a new house and was about to move, Chen Ming came all the way from the Xi Men to help him. If Chen Ming only wanted to repay Song Ming's kindness of promoting him, he would not have been so considerate.
Chen Ming's heart was filled with joy now that he had achieved his purpose of coming here today. However, he did not dare to show any hint of joy on his face. Chen Ming had used his close relationship with Song Ming and seized the weakness of Song Ming's character to successfully create an opportunity for himself. However, Chen Ming would not think that Song Ming was easy to fool just because of this. His face was still filled with shock. Chen Ming looked at the old leader and thought, 'Old Secretary, which leader are you going to look for to respond to this matter? I'm worried that if this matter reaches the ears of County Head Chen, I'm afraid that … 'Chen Ming did not finish his words, but the meaning behind his words could not be clearer. Chen Ming glanced at the old leader again and said,' Old Secretary, I think we should just forget about it. Although County Head Chen is a little overbearing, he is still thinking about the development of the Xi Men. His intention is good, so I think we should not complicate things. '
'Little Chen, I think you are very afraid of the new County Head Chen.' Song Ming glanced at Chen Ming in amazement. Chen Ming's behavior fell into his eyes. Combined with what Chen Ming had said before, Song Ming firmly believed that Chen Ming was afraid of getting into trouble. After all, Chen Ming was the director of the First Bureau and had the help of an old leader like him. Why was he still so timid? It was because he was afraid that Chen Xing would take revenge on him. The people from the Audit Office had already come to see him.
At Song Ming's age, Song Ming had some kind of understanding in his heart, so it was very difficult to change it. The saying that old people were stubborn had existed since ancient times. The older one lived, the more unreasonable one would be. It was not necessarily that one could distinguish right from wrong with more experience in the world. Of course, this was a bit far-fetched. According to Chen Ming's words and his own analysis, Song Ming had a general impression of Chen Xing. However, Chen Ming's performance, which he quite admired, made Song Ming even more displeased. Song Ming heard Song Ming say, 'Little Chen, you don't have to worry about this matter. If I don't report to the leader, I will not be able to get over it first. Chen Xing's way of doing things can no longer be described as overbearing. He is simply committing crimes and using his power to attack dissidents. It's fine if I don't know about it, but now that I know, I have to do something about it. If Xi Men continues to be like this, it will be a big mess.'
'Also, what's the matter with Wang Dongchen? He is the Secretary of the County Party Committee, the top leader. How can he allow Chen Xing to do as he pleases? As far as I know, Wang Dongchen is also a person who is good at grasping power. Could it be that he turns a blind eye to Chen Xing's behavior?' Song Ming looked at Chen Ming doubtfully. He had worked with Wang Dongchen for a few years, so he had some understanding of Wang Dongchen. In his impression, Wang Dongchen should not tolerate Chen Xing's reckless behavior.
How can we, as servants, understand Secretary Wang's thoughts. Besides, I was promoted by you, Old Secretary. Maybe Secretary Wang is eager to do that. ' As Chen Ming spoke, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was whispering to himself. However, his voice was loud enough for Song Ming to hear clearly.
After listening to Chen Ming's words, Song Ming did not criticize Chen Ming. Instead, he was silent for a while. A new emperor would bring his own courtiers. Chen Ming was promoted by him, so Wang Dongchen really did not need to fight with Chen Xing over Chen Ming. Just like what Chen Ming had implied earlier, Wang Dongchen might be eager to see this scene.
Chen Ming left Song Ming's house after lunch. The resentment in his heart seemed to have been vented. When Chen Ming came, he was in a hurry, but when he went back, he was leisurely. With Song Ming's support, Chen Ming felt that he had nothing to worry about.
Before getting in the car, Chen Ming looked up at the floor where Song Ming lived. A complacent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The work he had done for the Song Family in the past few years was not in vain. It always came in handy at the critical moment. If he had not shown enough respect and enthusiasm to the old leader and his family after Song Ming's retirement, he would be too embarrassed to visit the Song Family at this time.
Humming a tune, Chen Ming got in the car. He was in a much better mood. Based on what he said just now, as long as Song Ming questioned Chen Xing in the city, Chen Xing would be under a lot of pressure.
Time passed day by day. Chen Ming had been paying attention to the news from the Audit Bureau after returning to the county. Some of the financial expenses of the Civil Affairs Bureau were groundless, which Chen Ming knew very well. It was absolutely not difficult for the Audit Bureau to find out the problem. Although Chen Ming had made preparations for both sides, he was more or less worried. He was afraid that the fire Chen Xing ignited would not stop until it burned him. It was one thing to have Song Ming's protection, but if Chen Xing wanted to take him down at the cost of both sides suffering, that kind of scene was what he was most afraid to see.
The day after Zhong Ling finished her inspection in Ximen County, she returned to Yangcheng again. Chen Xing personally sent her to the highway from Ximen to Haicheng. These days, Chen Xing was also waiting for Zhong Ling's news. Chen Xing had asked his office to send a fax to Zhong Ling about the detailed plan of the construction of the tourist area in Ximen County. Whether Zhong Ling could persuade the other shareholders of the company was not something that Chen Xing could predict. According to Chen Xing's understanding, since Zhong Ling was the chairman of the company, she should have the final say in the company. However, Zhong Ling's position as the chairman was a little weird. Chen Xing didn't know the internal situation of the company at all, so he couldn't make a judgment.
The Audit Bureau was still nervously auditing the financial situation of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the past few years. The account books of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the past five years were sealed by the Audit Bureau. It was undoubtedly a tedious project to check them carefully one by one. However, Zhang Zhaoquan still ordered his subordinates to do it. There was no turning back. Since Zhang Zhaoquan had become the first spear of Chen Xing's charge, he would definitely not be lenient. He couldn't wait to find out all the problems of Chen Ming.
However, Wang Dongchen, the secretary of the County Party Committee, seemed to be very indulgent to Chen Xing's action against the Civil Affairs Bureau. He did not interfere in it. Although it was indeed the internal affairs of the government, and it was not suitable for Wang Dongchen, as the top leader of the Party Committee, to intervene in the affairs of the government, according to Wang Dongchen's style, it was normal for him to intervene. On the contrary, it was strange that he didn't intervene. Only Wang Dongchen himself knew whether Chen Xing's action was because Chen Ming was promoted by the former secretary, Song Ming.
After a short period of silence, Jinyu Entertainment City became active again. After Li baldy confirmed from Chen Jun, the secretary of Wang Dongchen, that the county would not send anyone to check again, Li baldy began to restore the normal business of the Entertainment City. The Entertainment City, which was deserted a few days ago, suddenly became lively again. The gambling house on the basement floor was also particularly popular after being closed for a few days. Those old gamblers who had been suppressed for a few days suddenly rushed over.
After a few days of reorganization, they had lost at least a million yuan. Li baldy gently tasted the cigar, and his face was full of pain. If this happened a few more times, the business of the Entertainment City would really suffer a heavy loss. Fortunately, that God of Plagues had left Xi Men.
The God of Plagues that Li baldy mentioned was Lin Mao, who came to the Entertainment City to make trouble last time. If Lin Mao knew that he had been given the nickname of God of Plagues, what would he think?
After all, he was a playboy from the provincial capital. In a small place like ours, it was normal for him to be domineering. Han Dong, who was sitting opposite Li baldy, smiled and gently tapped the ash on his cigarette. Han Dong also tasted the cigar gently, just like Li baldy. If there was one thing that he was addicted to after coming to the Entertainment City as a consultant, it would be this cigar. At first, because of Li baldy's strong recommendation, Han Dong also started smoking with the idea of playing around. He didn't expect that he would be so addicted to it that he stopped smoking other cigarettes and only smoked cigars.
Li baldy provided him with expensive Cuban cigars. According to Li baldy, he had entrusted a foreign friend to bring them back from Cuba through private channels. They were all directly brought back from Havana, which symbolized the highest level of Cuban cigars. They were definitely of the highest quality. Han Dong didn't know whether Li baldy was bragging or not, but he was really ecstatic with the cigars.
You should be glad that he is the son of the Jiang City Municipal Bureau Chief. If he was the son of Secretary Huang of the Sea City Municipal Bureau, you would really be out of luck. Han Dong chuckled and glanced at Li baldy. Even a powerful dragon couldn't suppress a local snake. Although that Young Master Lin also had a Chief as his father, this wasn't Jiang City after all. Li baldy, you can be considered to have dodged a calamity this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of earning less money. I'm afraid you might even suffer a serious injury.
Hehe, isn't there still Chief Han's help? Chief Han, you are now a member of our Entertainment City. If something really happens, I will definitely help you.
If anything really happens, I believe that with Chief Han's ability, our Entertainment City will also be able to turn misfortune into fortune. Li baldy smiled and flattered Han Dong. Han Dong had resigned from his position as Chief for a period of time, but Li baldy still addressed him in this way.
Li baldy, you must be joking. Han Dong smiled and shook his head. To be honest, I hung the title of a consultant in your Entertainment City and received a high salary of more than ten thousand a month. I really feel guilty. Until now, I haven't been of any serious help. I can see that you are actually much more capable than me. I don't know if you have too much money to spend, so you deliberately invited me here to give me money for free.
Han Dong had a faint smile on his face. Up until now, Han Dong still hadn't figured out whether or not Li baldy had a real big shot backing him up. He was also quite curious about the answer. However, Li baldy had never revealed anything to him, so Han Dong could only probe him a little.
It was just a small matter now. Naturally, there was no need for a big shot like Chief Han to take action. If he encountered real trouble in the future, Chief Han, when the time came, Chief Han, you couldn't shirk your responsibility. Li baldy smiled and lifted Han Dong's hand.
Han Dong stared deeply at him and smiled. Of course, I receive my salary from you every month. Now that you are my boss, I don't dare to disobey your orders.
As Han Dong spoke, he slowly exhaled the smoke. The white smoke gradually formed all sorts of beautiful patterns. The smoke was slowly moving with the wind. As he stared at the interweaving smoke, Han Dong's eyes became misty. He had already begun to enjoy this extravagant life, and there was no turning back.
Looking at Han Dong's expression, Li baldy's smile became even wider. Chief Han, you are too serious.
…
Outside the Entertainment City, Lin Mao, whom Li baldy thought had left Xi Men, unexpectedly appeared outside the Entertainment City. Even Zhao Guoli, Sun Xiang, and the others had already thought that Lin Mao had indeed returned to Jiang City. No one expected that Lin Mao would return.
